Wikipedia has long needed a reputation system for articles because the website is user generated and edited by millions of people. Enter the UCSC Wiki Lab who has come up with a way to track the reputation of specific phrases and words in the text added by users with a color overlay on the text.

You can see an example of how the color coded trust system works here.
